An interesting thread from #copyleft-next mailing list this week:

A thread about improving readability of defined terms…
https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/next/2025q3/000027.html
… has inspired some discussion about broader strategic approach to drafting a #copyleft license in 2025…
https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/next/2025q3/000032.html
https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/next/2025q3/000033.html

@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org has coined the term “specious argument vector” … but who knows if it'll catch on?

So, the only two options for forgejo are unmoderated account registrations, or admin-only setup of new accounts.

We don't have the time to deal with spam accounts on https://git.copyleft.org/ , so, if you want an account, please do a private-mention of @next@fedi.copyleft.org in reply to this post and give your desired username and a brief answer to the question: “Why do you want to contribute to copyleft-next?”

You can also email @bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org or @richardfontana@mastodon.social privately, but that will probably take longer.

Thanks!

copyleft-next contributor, @bkuhn@floss.social, posted his views on @creativecommons@mastodon.social's Attribution-Share-Alike license. He explains why he doesn't believe #CC-BY-SA is actually a #coypleft license.

https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/next/2025q3/000016.html

“Source code provisions” are an essential aspect of copyleft licenses — even for those designed for non-software works.

Much work remains to determine how to draft a “source code provision” for non-software. Copyleft-next hopes to get there eventually. Maybe #CreativeCommons could help!

Today, we (@bkuhn@floss.social & @richardfontana@mastodon.social) excitedly announce that we have restarted, revitalized, and relaunched copyleft-next!

Today, #GPLv3 turns exactly 18 years old. This month, #GPLv2 turned 34 years old. These are both great licenses and we love them. Nevertheless, at least once in a generation, #FOSS needs a new approach to strong #copyleft.

Read more in this thread about the relaunch of the copyleft-next project … ( or read more on the post here: https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/next/2025q2/000000.html )
